Your mixed media creation is a perfect illustration for the poem, you provided in your comments. Your photo is perfect focused and exposed, and adequately treated with mixed media. I enjoy the sharpness of detail and the realism of color and light. The shades of color at the soft background emphasize the Siamese Twin blossom beautifully. The flower is excellent placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

I think these Gerbera twins would have made me smile as well. I have never seen anything like this before, but they look fantastic sticking together like this. I like the pink swirls you have added to the background as well.

The Gerbera blooms are standing out sharp and well defined against the softened background, and it is clear details to be seen in the petals. The exposure is perfect.

The tight cropping is working well and the flowers are well placed within the frame. I think this is a lovely and well taken photo with an excellent DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.
